Remarks

I had over 60% in my bachelor's degree. After being shortlisted on the basis on the basis of my CAT scores of over 90%, I was called for a group discussion and personal interview round. I had applied to IIT Madras by submitting an online application through its official website. The application form cost me Rs.1600. I was encouraged to apply here by its top rankings. Its MBA program ranked #1 in Chennai by NIRF. MBA was one of the most sought after courses, hence I chose to apply here.

Course Curriculum Overview

My two-year MBA program trained us to become capable managers. Through the curriculum, we got an overall learning experience in regards to the theory of management and hands-on practice. The mode of learning in our program included Classroom teaching, Case discussions, Hands-on management, Internship in industry and project work. As for the faculty, we had a large and diverse faculty of over 600 members, all of them held PhDs in their respective fields.

Course Fees: INR 400000 per year

Placement Experience

4.5

Top recruiters like McKinsey, Accenture, Dell, EMCO, RBS, CHALO, GE, CISCO, Amazon, IBM, and HCLparticpated in the drive for our MBA batch. 24 top companies made job offers to almost 50 students of my batch, resulting in a 100% placement rate. The average package that my batch was able to secure was almost 14.4 lakhs and the highest salary package went over 29 lakhs.

Fees and Financial Aid

I had to pay around 8 lakhs for my 2 years program MBA. I couldn't secure a scholarship but the institute did assist me in obtaining an educational loan from a bank, during the admission process. And I was also able to earn during the summer internship program. I worked with Amazon for 4 weeks and during that time I was being paid Rs.90000 per month.

Campus Life

At IIT Madras, we were able to enjoy convenient and enriching campus life with facilities like a well-oriented library with over 20 lakh books, medical facilities, food, sports, etc. Several clubs were also available for us to join, Arts - Kalakriti, Analytics - Enigma, Debate - Rhetorica, Economics - Arthonomics, Finance - Fin-Addicts, HR - FoHRum, and Marketing - Mercado, to name some. I was a part of the Marketing Club and through the club activities, I was able to put my theoretical knowledge into practice.

I didn't apply to any other colleges because I didn't find any better college which would give me such flexibility in terms of fee and course pace. I didn't applied so I didn't get rejected from anywhere. To get admission in my current college , I had to qualify a qualifier (entrance for this degree) exam which made me eligible for this exam. Only 12th class certificate was required which obviously I have with more than 60 % in maths. Cuttoffs are very easy to obtain. The cuttoff is according to category, for my catogery which is obc I had to obtain at least 40% marks but I get 82% marks and hence passed the qualifier and got the admission letter.
